Here's a pdf by AI researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky.

His homepage
He's an AI researcher and is intro the transhumanist thing called the singularity, which is something I can take or leave. However his essay on cognitive bias is really good and really useful, and no doubt applies to each us as much as to the freaks in our media. Still it gives a good framework for picking bias in the media.
